JEGS Bandit EFI Install in a Weekend! Farmy's SBC 400 Sounds AWESOME

www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/16800...
This EFI has me so excited! It was a super quick install and absolutely effortless to get working! Id highly consider picking one up for yourself if you've been thinking of upgrading from a carb!
They are one of the most affordable bolt on EFI Kit's you can buy and come with everything you need in the box! (except a fuel pump and regulator

I cried when you tossed the quadrajet.

[@051570orion]

It took him over 2 1/2 hours , when he could have put a better carb on it and still pulled as much power as using efi , the old acronym "K.I.S.S Keep it simple stupid , has been tossed aside for complexity. It's also been my experience that electronics can and will fail . I can work on either but I like old school and I like the old school way of tuning an engine

[@JimSealyJr]

I love that it just worked, right out of the box. When you got to the point of finding the tach plug on an HEI, it made me wonder how Jegs feels about HEI with their EFI, since Holley, and I believe Ace, say don’t use theirs with HEI.

I've been wanting a system like this for my old truck! I haven't bought one yet

[@ardennielsen3761]

operating temperature range of fuel pumps is -20*C at the lowest, it's -30*C today so the pumps locking up. I had frost accumulating on the fuel rail in my car plowing snow today "bosh 044 type performance pump good for 130hp @ -30*C, full 500hp at start up down to 130hp as water crystalizes in the fuel system filter etc."

[@spencerharvey7567]

I put one on my buddy 5.0 mustang. He was having issues getting his carb tuned. It was a night and day difference. I would never run a carb after seeing his.

I’m still figuring out the fuel system for my mustang, this fuel injection kit might very well do it

[@jayinmi3706]

Was Farmy originally carb'd? I know my '89 2.5L was fuel injected and has 3 lines coming out the front crossmember. Just curious.

[@michaelherman2207]

Did you change the cam setting later. 1 is Mild and 4 is Wild. Looks like you chose 1, though with 11-12" vacuum it is not more of a 3? Idle sounded pretty rowdy for a level 1 cam.

[@jackmorris9180]

Oh yeahhhhhhhh

[@travishatch4303]

Do you need the tps..? What psi does the bandit reguire? ((Nm...60psi.) Probably more then a Manuel pump can do I'm sure. Currently have a 400x th40 n my square and been dieing to see/do this since I saw the bandit

See if you can find a late model (01-04) s10 blazer 4dr at the junkyard and get 3:42 limited slip rear axle with sway bar and disk brakes other than changing the master cylinder to a 4disk one (also found on same vehicle) and figuring out the e brake cable its a bolt in

[@tarynpreston9568]

Did you just reuse the stock steel lines and cut them before the regulator??

[@kevinkeeney3295]

What part number was the fuel pump u ended up getting?

[@jeffreychristianson9134]

The Holly system needs tech signal to send spark and allow fuel.

[@Nick_Spencer]

will this work for replacing the 2.8 TBI?

[@UncleRoots413]

Small block an a manual trans truck. Subscribed.

[@nightfallgrayrs1601]

I think the O2 sensor is a little too far from the header connection.

[@jb-wj3wn]

How’s it been so far up to this point ? Reliable ?

[@hardball107]

Next time just run a LS Corvette filter/regulator and cut it into the hardline to the engine. Then just add a return line up to the return fitting on the pump module. 62 psi easy/peezy to the throttle body for $50.

[@thatrebelboy48]

Gotta have a pump that’ll provide that much pressure

Would the air pressure Guage read the same as a liquid pressure guage?

Ya

[@dannyoutlaw8001]

Is that an old torker intake manifold? ..if so that is one of the best intakes for a SBC the only other one that is better is the old scorpion intake manifold...the scorpion is one of the first air gap intake manifold made,...IV ran just about all the intakes and at the track the torker and scorpion ran faster than all the popular ones

yeah that factory sending unit that goes in your tank has a ~44psi regulator on it unless you eliminated it somehow, most likely the only reason you have 60 now is that you overpowered the stock regulator. or if you did bypass it then nvm lol

[@HooptiesNHalftons]

Wonder how this would go on a non efi squarebody pickup truck

[@jaydorward4292]

His vehicle was originally equipped with throttle body injection, he swapped in a SBC with a rochester qjet. His motor ain't the original motor to the truck. This product is built for converting carbureted motors to EFI.

Can it run a turbo ?

[@ak_strem7010]

JEGS says no, only has a 1 bar map. In theory if you use a 1:1 regulator it could maybe last as long as you’re within the injectors range.

[@MisterAdam-jj5jv]

Any regrets or surprises to report

[@austindoud273]

The power and ground should go straight to the battery you're asking for problems

[@ak_strem7010]

Not hard to move 2 wires if it does create problems. I’m curious to see

[@802Garage]

What problems do you think it will cause? Power just needs to be consistently able to handle the amperage needed. Ground can be anywhere on the chassis or even engine as long as it's all grounded properly. Since it's a self contained system essentially you don't need to worry about sensor voltage reference or ground loops.

[@austindoud273]

Voltage spikes and phantom voltage. That's what the battery is for to smooth out all of the noise from the alternator and other components

[@802Garage]

@@austindoud273 That's not how the electrical system works. Proper grounding and cable sizing and there's no issue. Most sensors get ground reference from the head or intake manifold, not straight from the battery. They get power from a relay which gets power straight from the alternator as well as battery. No OEM car in the world has everything run directly to the battery, especially not the grounding. The battery will also still show whatever voltage the alternator is putting out and it can only "smooth" voltage when there is a massive spike in Amperage draw.

[@austindoud273]

@@802Garage crazy about the battery smoothing voltage its almost exactly what I said.

[@mariosgbodys]

People wire up and install their EFI kits like this, then couple months pass and they run to jeggs website and leave 1 star reviews when they are having issues 🤦‍♂️

[@shawnmarks1400]

Anyone kinda cringe watching him Rev it through its idle learn I know your excitement is hard to control we've all been there lol but self learning systems need to discover their own baseline from my experience anyway the only time I've had trouble with any of these systems is rushing it or making power mods too fast again not letting it learn and catch up but curious to see where build goes

[@ak_strem7010]

Don’t worry too much, I’ve done a hard reset off camera after I cracked open the instructions for the first time and have done the full idle setup this thing wanted, didn’t realize it had one cause I wanted to see how easily I could do the install without the instructions haha

[@shawnmarks1400]

@Ak_Strem yeah I get it we've all done it for it it was one of those lol cringe situations from a professional standpoint but these systems are great for the average person who doesn't care for every single hp and prefers a decent hp with drivability you shouldn't be disappointed
